Laura Bush can

[HotHunt]

I am a fan of no one. Not into celebrity. But I admire the class the Bushes exhibited while in the White House in contrast to the classless people who occupy it currently.

You don’t think *someone* should tell morbidly obese people how or what to eat? To paraphrase Justice Holmes, “three generations of lardasses are enough.”

A person whose girth consumes an entire supermarket aisle clearly doesn’t know how or what to eat. That deficit causes all manner of health issues that need expensive medical treatment. Guess who’s gonna pay for it?

[tioga]

While I vehemently oppose abortion, Laura was a lady in her duties as First Lady. A strong contrast with Hillary and Michelle. I appreciated the dignity which she brought to the position.

Not exactly a high hurdle. Even the Wilsons and Clintons were classier.

[tioga]

Clintons classy? LMAO

Remember hillary’s brothers? Tony was in a brawl, Hugh sold a pardon. Hillary and Bill fought over Monica....heck, there was NOTHING classy about them.

Everything is relative.

"Intolerance is a terrible thing to go through life holding inside. Being so hateful toward people who don’t agree with you sounds just like a liberal. We all know people like you. Moaners, groaners, complainers about everything. Never a positive thing to say about anyone or anything."

Nice liberal misuse of the word "tolerance" there. What exactly is "hateful" about acknowledging Laura Bush's support of abortion and queer marriage? I would hope you don't agree with her on those issues.

A word of advice to someone even newer than me: don't roll up in here with an attitude. A little politeness will help you.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

This is from a gossip column. I wouldn't read too much into it.

[HotHunt]

Well, aren’t we just holier than thou? You seem to have an overly inflated view of your own self-importance to me. A little less hatefulness on your part would be helpful too.

I don’t necessarily hate everyone in society that hold different views or positions than I do. One can like the person but not agree with everything they believe in. But if that were the rule, there would be no one to like or admire in the world because no two people can agree on everything. It must be a lonely place in your universe.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Not really, and remember, the National Enquirer broke the John Edwards story and Drudge the Lewinsky affair.

[CorporateStepsister]

Totally; I’m tired of the country club republicans and tired of all the idiocy of these ladies. None of them were elected to give their opinions.

[subterfuge]

Seriously nick?

The Bush ladies are typical, squishy, emotional soccer mom types. Michelle is the span of satan. I mean, come on.

[murron]

Oh, I’m sure his version would be focusing on Jefferson’s alleged affair with his slave, Sally what’s-her-name.

[Girlene]

“Well, somebody’s got to tell these people what to eat,”

She continues and clarifies "these people" as "these children". Still.....it's not up to the government to tell "these children" what to eat. It's up to their parents.

[murron]

And don’t forget Roger Clinton. Wasn’t he involved in a few scandals of his own? And didn’t Billy have to pardon his brother when BC was governor of Arkansas?

[FredZarguna]

"Justice" Holmes was a POS in a black robe who helped dismantle the US Constitution.

Proper diet is not part of governance. Neither is healthcare.

The correct remedy to both is for fat people to pay for their own medicine and their own food, not for our "betters" to dictate to us how to live our lives.

[HotHunt]

What hurdle? You think the Arkansas Grifters are classy? And who the heck are the Wilsons? The early 1900’s?

Not following your thought process at all.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Everything is relative, so compared to BO & MO, everyone else is classy. Woodrow Wilson was president prior to and during World War I. Are you young, perhaps? I know they don’t teach much history anymore.

[sickoflibs]

Watching these RINOs go after each other is quite a show,
